Roam Survival Patch Notes — May 15, 2024
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Ladies and gentlemen,
We hope you are well.
We are pleased to inform you about the recent progress in our project: Since the last update of our video game, we have faced various difficulties in improving it. A year has passed in which information about the project has been scarce, given that we recently resumed its development due to time limitations as independent developers. However, we are pleased to inform you that we are working hard on the development of the game and have implemented significant changes, among which are:
Map renewal:
We have redesigned the map to expand its extension and give it a richer tropical atmosphere, increasing the vegetation on the island. We have more clearly differentiated tropical and rural environments, improved native camps, and incorporated ruins, hanging bridges, cinematics and a greater variety of animals, among other improvements.
Improved artificial intelligence:
NPCs have been improved to perform more coherent actions during the game, such as hunting with a bow and arrow, collecting animal meat, taking shelter and lighting bonfires at nightfall, as well as dancing around them. Additionally, we have implemented a noise perception system, which will require the player to maintain stealth around the natives to ensure their survival. We have also improved the artificial intelligence of the animals.
Story development:
We have reorganized the game's plot and are working on the main cinematics, which will include elements of humor and intrigue. The game now has introductions that present the environment and the main and secondary missions in a more coherent and immersive way.
Gameplay improvements:
We have focused on adapting the controls for those who prefer to use a keyboard or controller. We have also improved the animations and added the ability for the character to move stealthily, allowing him to run crouched and hide in bushes to avoid detection by NPCs.
Our goal is to advance and update the game regularly throughout 2024, for example. So we ask for your patience as we work to make the game reach its full potential. We cannot yet provide an exact date for the first big update, but we will keep you informed.
Best regards.
